I formed in Gershwin in Roth quad for 2 weeks. We had roaches in our kitchen and they tried so serve me uncooked food at Roth cafe. The woman used a meat thermometer in front of me, it was uncooked and she gave it to me anyway. Lesson learned, don't eat the chicken! The classes were really hard if you took APs in high school since they automatically placed you into a higher level class and wouldn't let you drop down. Also the professors rarely spoke good English and it was very broken so it was hard to understand what they were teaching. This is a great school if you want to party though, there is a party every week/weekend. My friend who also went there who was super smart found his mechanical engineering major way too hard so he had to switch to a different major. Stony brook won't be fun for you if you're not Asian, the Asians rarely speak English and they tend to form cliques, on top of that they are super smart so you can't compete with them in classes.

Even though this is my first year as a transfer student, Stony Brook University has a lot to offer for a college student. My professors are nice and are willing to help with my learning disability. When I first started college, I was unsure of myself and thought that I wouldn't do well since it's a different environment from high school. I was definitely wrong. It's places like Stony Brook University that show you can do anything you want and follow your dreams! I am happy to be a Stony Brook University Seawolf and definitely recommend this school to many others!

Stony Brook believes in giving the best education that can be provided and I find that they prove themselves everything. They really give you a chance to be an adult and have the ability to live in learn. The large classes surround you with different kinds of people which is refreshing and if you make the effort, introducing yourself to the professor is one of the most beneficial things you can do. The pace of the curriculum is healthy and the amount of work is adequate. If you really love to learn and are excited about what the future holds then you will have no problem doing well and fitting in. Just be sure to stay organized! I can't stress that enough.
